Description

Rat Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This CM4 monoclonal antibody reacts with a subset of mouse Ly49 receptors, specifically Ly49E and Ly49F. The Ly49 family of receptors are clustered in the Natural Killer Cell complex on chromosome 6. Expression is confined to NK cell, lymphocytes that play a key role in protection from infection and malignant diseases as well as graft rejection and autoimmune diseases. Ly49E is unique from other family members in that it contains an ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif) domain and is expressed on all mouse strains. Developmentally Ly49E is one of the first markers detected on NK cells but expression decreases after birth to about 1% of NK cells in the adult spleen. Upon stimulation, expression can again be induced on Ly49E negative cells. The CM4 antibody is a useful reagent for the characterization of Ly49E expression when used in combination with other Ly49 antibodies such as 14B11 (Ly49C/I/F/H), 3D10 (Ly49C), YLI-90 (Ly49I), and A1 (Ly49A). Applications Reported: This CM4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This CM4 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be caref...

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.

Are the eFluor Organic Dyes photo-labile?

As with other fluorochromes, we recommend minimal exposure to light to maintain optimal signal.
